I would definitely stay at this hotel again.
Pros:

Location was perfect for downtown Grand Rapids. All staff were helpful and friendly and the room was a good size.

Cons:

The breakfast was fine, not spectacular, but the system for collecting and handing over the breakfast token was confusing.

Disappointed
Pros:

Location excellent for purpose of visiting Grand Rapids

Cons:

For the price of the room @ $439 per night, there were NO amenities you would hope to expect. No parking on site but no valet service. Room was sparce, basic tv channels and tv had terrible sound & clarity. Walls very thin hearing connecting rooms tv & noice all night. No free offerings -even COFFEE- for breakfast...which cost $20 per person...which was no more than most hotels offer as complimentary.

Overall nice
Pros:

The location was perfect for our stay. My partner and I didn’t try the breakfast, but we did notice that coffee was $3 and didn’t come with lids, which was a bit inconvenient. Parking was also $30, which we weren’t too happy about, and breakfast was priced at $19.

Aside from those extra costs, we had a great experience overall. The bed was very comfortable, and the room was clean and well-maintained.

Cons:

Paying for parking
